Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost, 'Who put these bodies between us?'

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Hei and Misaki are at the bar, because apparently that the Place To Be for disfunctional couples. But they aren't hanging all over each other, flirting, kissing, or talking about the kids. They are sitting as far apart as possible while still remaining in the same space. Misaki sits in a booth, flushed, staring into space. Hei is at the bar facing the opposite direction, drink in hand. Bandaged hand; he appears to have torn it up rather badly.


Reality sucks sometimes.]

[Guess who else is hanging around because DAMN that was a bad weekend]

[As she is currently drunk for the first time in... ever, she does no notice you, Mu.]

[contract_star]

[Glances up and nods to Mu, swaying a little, face blank.]

Back to normal?

[didorothy]

[Sam knows awkward when he sees it]

I can't tell if I owe you both a round, or if you two owe me one each.

[contract_star]

Short on funds right now, sorry. [Takes a long swig of whatever he's drinking.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't look at him so much as glance in his general direction and miss spotting him by a few feet. And then she drinks more.] Doesn't particularly matter, I suppose, seeing as it's free.

[There's effort in it, the attempt at articulation, but it comes out slurred anyway.]

[Crowley is going to be a dick, because...well, he can. And that's what he does.]

[He wanders over to the bar and begins to putter around seemingly at random, taking his sweet time in choosing a drink, finding a glass, etc. Finally he gets everything together and settles himself at the bar one seat away from Hei.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She's on her feet in a heartbeat, unsteady.] Get the hell away from him.

[contract_star]

[Hei, on the other hand, just sort of sits there, not even acknowledging the demon's presence. Though his shoulders tense ever so slightly.]

[ghostlighter]

[Well, this doesn't look quite like the happy-couples thing Chris was seeing just a few days ago. Chris is nearby, but unsure if he wants to or should stick around.]

[contract_star]

[It's quite awhile before Hei bothers to acknowledge Chris's presence.]

Drink?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Brb drunk. She rests her head on her arms]

[gotitwrong]

[Because he REALLY WANTS TO, here is Ray, in all his empathy lacking glory] Christ, that all anybody use this place for? Drownin' their sorrows?

[Ray, is of course, getting himself a drink one handedly! because... he still has to wear the sling for four more weeks.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

If you would prefer, I could break your other arm and you could dry yours out instead.

[contract_star]

[Hei just sits there and says nothing. He doesn't know Ray well enough to care that he's here or even speaking.]

[opiumandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[Look who is still at the bar and smoking his opium. Why he's even at the bar in the first place, nobody even knows. He isn't even drinking anything from it, he's just chilling out and smiling.]

I had no idea heavy drinking was a new form of honeymooning.

[contract_star]

[Hei squints at him awhile, trying to remember who he is.]

Lau, right? ...Long story, but the honeymoon's over.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Dino is by the bar because I say he is] What happened?

[contract_star]

What always happens. The experiment ended.

[mercwamouth]

...Something happen?

[contract_star]

[Pauses with the glass halfway to his lips.]

You're an idiot.

[Drinks.]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ She's watching both of them, her own drink abandoned on the bar. The looks on their faces are much too familiar for comfort. ]

It's over, isn't it?

[contract_star]

[After awhile,] Of course.

[knowswheregodis.livejournal.com]

[Chris is just sort of wandering around, trying to make friends and man the people here seem bummed but he's got a pint and determination! So here he is.]

[contract_star]

[Glances up and registers that there's a person there, but says nothing.]

[madamemoiselle]

Oh no, it's over, isn't it?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[There's no sharp increase of tension, no cold glare. The look she gives Diva is so mild it's almost empty.] So it would seem.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[The kid just passed by between exploring the yay place he discovered lately. Then he stops to turn around... eyeing the weird people in the bar.]

Ah. This is what they call awkward! [Rather happy with the discovery, but still can't read the mood at all.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Blink. Wtf? And a kid. No. No kids right now.] Who are you?

[realitymods]

[when Meredith appears, hooded as always, there is no apparent expression on her face]

If you would like something in return for your suffering, I can grant you a gift.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Oh. The hate. The HATE.] Such as...?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...married life not treating you well?

[contract_star]

[Stares blearily at Ianto for a moment.] Not treating us at all, actually.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Homes in on Hei] Signore?

[FFFFFT LITTLE GIRLS NO.] Henrietta...
